I had a terrible month and had to drop back down in stakes and unfortunately I know its because I'm playing terrible. The only good think that comes out of playing bad is a motivation to learn more and work on my game. For the immediate future I'm going to be playing 10nl until I'm back at a 40 buyins for 25nl. Have a safe and fun new year everyone, I will be home watching my pregnant wife sleep and parting hard with my 2 year old. Gl everyone

I honestly don't feel there is much of a difference in the limits. Id move up if you have the roll and don't need to make cash outs. Personally I have a full time job so I don't need to cash out at the moment.

I've jumped to 25nl with a $1,000 bankroll and was running pretty at the beginning of November, then went on a 14 buyin downswing. By the end of the month I managed to win a total $30. This leaves me at $1,030 at the beginning of December. This month I need to focus more on my game and less on just putting in mindless volume when I get a free. My goal for the month is 30 buyins, wish me luck.

I might be wrong, but if we are calling a 4bet here why fold post flop when we hit top pair.

No joking, what is spr?

The bankroll is at $780 and climbing, which I'm excited about because I haven't had the time to put in as much volume as I would like. I'm going to finish off the month playing 10nl reg and zone tables and set a new goal at the beginning of next month.
Can anyone give me their feedback on holdem indicator, is it worth buying or should I just keep playing without any software?

I hit my 350 dollar BR so I'm going to start playing 10nl with the plan of moving down if I lose 5 buyins. Last month I set a goal of moving to 10nl by the end of October and that happened early on in the month, so my new goal is to make 20 buyins at 10nl by the end of the month. Another goal of mine is to start posting hands, this is something I have never done before and I've been playing poker since the party poker days.
I know I'm not much of a writer, but documenting my progress has helped me stay motivated and kept me honest at the tables. In the past with a $350 BR, I would've been shortstacking the 200nl games, so as long as I keep watching vids and reading posts I hope I can stay on track and keep learning.

My br is now at 315, unfortunately most of the poker I played last week was extremely unfocused. I had a very stressful week and only played cards to distract my mind. Thankfully everything turned out good for me and I managed to add some money to the br.

I realized that I joined RIO with the goal of becoming a winning player, but I feel that I need some short term goals to keep motivated, so my goal for the rest of this month and next month will be to move up to 10nl with 35 buyins, I'm currently at $185 so I feel that this goal is very obtainable.
Wish me luck, I will be updating this weekly with my results.

Things have been going fairly well, I'm up about 10 buyins. I have no idea how many hands I've played because I don't have anyway of keeping track at the moment. Does anyone have any suggestions for a stat tracking program for a player that plays exclusively on bovada?

Thx for the advice, hopefully I can start making some improvements and upgrade to the elite.

Since this is my first post I guess I should give you some background. I'm a 33 year old family man with one son and a pregnant wife. I've been playing poker for years but struggling to do more than break even. My typical poker cycle goes something like this. I start the month with a small bankroll $100-$200 and play the cheapest games possible and jump up levels as I get 30 buy ins to the next limit, what I inevitably end up doing is taking a shot at a higher limit way under rolled and tilt off my money until I'm back where I started. I almost never make a new deposit, but I can't remember the last time I cashed out. I currently play on Bovada and have approximately $86 dollars in my account. Now its time to start the learning process, good luck everyone.
Does anyone 3bet that hand on the button?
